CBO scores zero in this budget for money coming from the tax gap that is represented by Senator Conrad as existing.

They claim you can't generate the type of dollars the Senator has been talking about, and CBO doesn't give us any score for tax gap unless we significantly increase IRS funding, which we do not do.
